Chapter 62 Death Leaves, Darkness Descends
Creating the body of the God of Death would definitely consume a huge amount of divine power.
The effects of divine power are widespread.
Develop the god of death's artifacts, study the god of death's magic, build the god of death's body, and build the kingdom of God's buildings...
It can be said that the amount of divine power fully measures Xu Xiaofan's strength.
"The most urgent task now is to build my own body of the Grim Reaper."
"Only in this way can I be like the players, not afraid of death, and freely travel to any other world."
Xu Xiaofan thought that there were actually many ways to create the body of the god of death based on the memories left over from his previous life.
The body of the god of death is, strictly speaking, an incarnation of the god of death.
Xu Xiaofan's body cannot be transformed casually, because his current divine power is relatively small among gods, and it is not enough to transform his body into the state of his heyday. It is better to let the body stay in the kingdom of gods and be nurtured by the kingdom of gods and divine power day and night.
It is indeed a bit troublesome to enhance the strength of Xu Xiaofan's original body, but it is easier to deal with the clone.
The clones of the god of death can be divided into two types: divine clones and physical clones.
The physical clone is the most powerful, but it requires more divine power and natural treasures to create, and it takes a lot of time and effort.
Obviously, the physical clone is not Xu Xiaofan's first choice. After all, even if he has the patience now, he can't gather enough rare materials.
There are many materials that are absolutely impossible to gather in a low-level alien world, and even one of them may not be found in the entire Esk continent.
Therefore, Xu Xiaofan’s only option now is to use his divine power clone.
The method of creating a divine clone is actually similar to how Xu Xiaofan consumes divine power to create the NPC of the Kingdom of God, except that it lacks the process of using divine power to simulate the wisdom and thinking of living things.
First, the divine power is extracted from the godhead, and the body of the creature is created according to the biological template recorded in the godhead in the previous life. The divine power is then used to transform the creature, and finally a part of the soul of the original body is transferred into it.
Even if the clone died, it would not cause fatal harm to Xu Xiaofan. At most, he would suffer some spiritual trauma, which could be quickly repaired with divine power, and then a new clone could be created.
With the clone of the god of death, as long as the original body is not dead, Xu Xiaofan is equivalent to having unlimited resurrection coins.
This operation method seems complicated, but it is actually very easy to understand. It is just like the character-creation game that Xu Xiaofan played on Earth.
If you pay more attention, the clone you create will naturally be more detailed and stronger, but no matter how powerful it is, there is a limit. After all, it is not a real divine body, but an clone composed of pure divine power.
"Divine power is a good thing. It can create something out of nothing."
Every time Xu Xiaofan used his divine power, he would sigh from time to time.
Divine power is a high-level energy in the universe and the support for many magical methods of the gods. It enables creatures to master powerful skills and talents to create something out of nothing.
"Start creating clones."
Xu Xiaofan began to control the divine nature with his mind, drawing a large amount of divine power, and then found the human biological template in his memory and began to carry out detailed creation.
Balls of black fog filled the entire Hall of Death.
Although the upgrade of the Kingdom of God has been completed, the Hall of Death is still filled with black fog. This is the effect caused by Xu Xiaofan creating a clone.
A blurry shadow of a human male body appeared in the black fog, gradually becoming clearer and more clearly shaped.
Xu Xiaofan did not use the template of the clone he had created in his previous life. To be honest, Xu Xiaofan was envious of that kind of handsome, cool and domineering appearance.
But he felt that a clone was meant to carry a part of his soul.
If your own will is involved and controlling a strange body, it will feel awkward.
So Xu Xiaofan followed his heart and created a clone in the image of his original self, with exactly the same appearance, height, and facial features.
Finally, two hours later, Xu Xiaofan's Death clone was completed!
Looking at himself who looked exactly like him, Xu Xiaofan snapped his fingers easily: "Snap!"
A black cloak appeared from the void, woven by divine power, and slowly draped over the body of the clone, covering parts and body that could not be described in detail.
Although the clone is exactly the same as Xu Xiaofan, its eyes look particularly empty because it does not yet carry Xu Xiaofan's soul.
But apart from the soul, it already possesses all the basics such as biological talents, bloodline, qualifications, etc.
It can be said that it is an independent human being!
A human being without a soul.
"No, it can't be exactly the same. After all, it has been remade and needs to be refined!"
Xu Xiaofan thought about it for a while, and resolutely started the photo retouching mode.
The Divine System is much more powerful than Meitu Camera and the like. As long as Xu Xiaofan has a thought, the Divine System will automatically adjust the facial details, height, body proportions, size and arrangement of the avatar according to Xu Xiaofan's aesthetic taste.
"Okay, this way you still look like me, but you're much more handsome!"
Xu Xiaofan was very satisfied, and murmured to himself: "Being handsome is not enough, can being handsome be used to make a living?"
"I have to improve the basic talent of my clone."
As a completely independent organism, the Death Clone can have its own strength.
Xu Xiaofan remembered that in his previous life he had specially created a clone of the god of death, and then secretly learned light-related magic and infiltrated the Temple of Light to become a spy.
Unfortunately, because I was too high-profile in my previous life, the background and identity of my clone was accidentally discovered by the God of Light.
"Improve the meridians! Expand the width of the meridians and open up the Ren and Du meridians!"
"Copy the magic combat experience of the previous life's memory, instill basic magic knowledge and advanced magic knowledge and skills, instill magic network theory and all casting spells!"
"Then, we will improve our limb strength, and increase our body's speed, strength, agility, and ability to withstand blows!"
"Then select a fighting spirit operation system from the high magic world from my memory, use my divine power to simulate the operation in the clone's body, and let the clone master a set of high-level fighting spirit techniques as a means of self-protection in close combat!"
"Okay, perfect, this is the perfect combination of ranged spellcasting and melee combat!"
After a busy period, Xu Xiaofan wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded with great satisfaction.
Improving the original body's strength is slow and troublesome, and requires many prerequisites, but his clone can become powerful in an instant!
Anyway, the clone is just a test subject, so he can do whatever he wants with it.
"It's a pity that my memory of my past life only contains knowledge about the magic world. It would be great if I had been to the world of immortal cultivation in my past life. I could then create a sword immortal clone."
It is said that human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. Xu Xiaofan felt that he could improve the strength of his clone a little bit, but with the current means, he could only do this much.
No matter how powerful the clone is, it can only be achieved by him continuing to improve the level of the kingdom of God or gaining more life energy.
"But even so, with the current strength of this clone, it will be easy for me to sweep across the Esk Continent, unless the God of Light himself comes down to fight me."
"The last step is to split the soul into two clones."
Xu Xiaofan closed his eyes, used his divine power to block out the perception of pain, and then began to split his soul.
The process went smoothly, but the divine nature could not completely suppress the soul perception of the main body, and Xu Xiaofan could still feel a trace of soul pain.
"call out!"
A uniform black mist rose from Xu Xiaofan's head and then fell into his clone.
When the clone opened his eyes, Xu Xiaofan felt a wonderful feeling filling every corner of his body.
He could clearly feel that his soul had completely merged with his clone's body, but he could still control and sense his original body.
Everyone has two hands and a pair of feet. Everyone has a familiar sense of control over their limbs and can control them naturally without deliberate practice.
This is how Xu Xiaofan feels now. He has control over a whole new body compared to others!
Xu Xiaofan's real body is Xu Xiaofan, but his clone is still Xu Xiaofan after being infused with Xu Xiaofan's soul !
“It feels really amazing.”
Xu Xiaofan chuckled, put on his cloak, and picked up his own Grim Reaper's scythe (not a divine weapon, but a weapon constructed with divine power).
"Everything is ready, let's go see my believers!"
Xu Xiaofan pushed open the door of the Hall of Death. Divine power enveloped his entire body and he transformed into a stream of black light and leaped out, directly following the plane gate and entering the Esk continent.
There were a few new players with funny attributes who had just come out of the Hall of Death and had just completed their baptism at the NPC Death Template left by Xu Xiaofan.
When they looked up, they happened to see Xu Xiaofan turning into black light and quickly leaving.
"Fuck, a black meteor!"
"From the Hall of Death!"
"Everyone, make a wish! The god of death is sending down shooting stars!"
…
The city in the north.
"how's it going?"
Xu Ercong sat in the City Lord's Mansion and sent a private message to Bai Xiaosheng: "I have already taken over the main city, and Aotian has also become friends with the NPCs in the tavern. The player's main city plan has been successful. How is the progress of your mission?"
"Not very optimistic. I have disguised myself as a human magician, but the people around her seem a little reluctant to come into contact with an undead magician."
Bai Xiaosheng replied helplessly: "I'm having dinner with them. Although Alia is not difficult to deal with, the people around her are a little difficult to deal with. Besides, I really don't know why the NPCs have to eat, and they eat so slowly, which really wastes time."
Xu Ercong glanced at the private message and sent an encouraging message: "Come on! Brother, it all depends on you. You are the only one missing! Ole Ge!"
"Okay, I'll try to finish the task as soon as possible. This is the first time I've discovered that interacting with NPCs is more tiring than interacting with people in real life."
"Haha, forget it. I have things to do."
Xu Ercong closed the private message and shouted at the door: "Come in."
The philosopher was knocking on the door just now, and now he pushed it open and walked in, holding a pile of information in his hands.
"Brother Cong, do you think there is something wrong with the planning? I suspect the official is mistreating us players. They didn't even give us a system template for city management after they conquered the main city."
"It's exactly like a real city, with officials, soldiers, population statistics, and material statistics all done by hand."
"My head exploded as I sorted these out."
The philosopher piled the half-meter-high parchment materials on the table in front of Xu Ercong and complained, "It 's been four hours, and our team has only compiled this much. There are still at least two-thirds of the city data that have not been compiled."
"Are you stupid? Where are the NPC officials in the city? Let them come and help!"
"I'm just afraid that the NPCs will turn against us. We just took over the city."
"Have you never played a strategy game? Once you capture a city, you have to persuade the generals inside to surrender!"
Xu Ercong said angrily, "We are human now! We are not undead! Why would human NPCs resist us? We are only looking for trouble with the temple, not ordinary people."
"Take a few managers with you, put on human skin, and persuade the NPC officials in the city to surrender."
"When I was playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I persuaded Zhao Yun, Xun Yu, Sima Yi, and Zhuge Liang to surrender! There were so many talented people!"
"You threw the existing civil servants into a corner, and then you took a few amateur players to manage the city, and even scolded the planner for abusing you. I think you are just a pig-brained person!"
Xu Ercong cursed: "I've told you countless times that this game is an open game. There is definitely an element of hegemony. But when it comes to hegemony games, which hegemony game doesn't have a persuasion option?"
"I understand, Brother Cong, I'll go right away!"
The philosopher suddenly realized and hurried out of the city lord's mansion.
Xu Ercong looked at the pile of information in front of him with a headache and sighed: "You guys are relieved after persuading us to surrender, but I, as a leader, still have to read these things."
Although it is possible to persuade NPCs to surrender, you still need to look at this information. After all, if there is the possibility of persuading them to surrender, there is also the possibility of betrayal and rebellion.
You must have a general grasp of the basic information of the city in order to know whether the NPC officials under your command will secretly harm you.
Just after Xu Ercong turned over the parchment in front of him, a divine notification message began to be announced to the entire server.
